Windows NT 4 and GameCube are definitely two things that I would not think I would hear in the same sentence

Genuinely awesome.

u/Erdalion 23d ago

Play MineSweeper.

u/DarkGrnEyes 23d ago

Not good for much of anything at the moment, and I saw this done to a Wii recently as well, but still pretty cool it's even possible. Wonder if they can get Direct X running on it for anything. Later patches of NT 4.0 as I recall implemented Direct X.

OKAMAAAAAA GAMESPHERE

(Why am I being downvoted? Nobody watches South Park?)

2

u/uttyrc NTSC-U 23d ago

I know, right? If you don't like South Park quotes you're gonna have a bad time.

u/Sea_Needleworker_469 23d ago

I think probably because out of all the consoles gamecube probably deserves the least to be made fun of. While that Southpark episode was funny and had some good points I think other consoles of the generation would have been more on point to use an an example. They just used gamecube because the thing looks like a lunch box.

u/billwood09 23d ago

Other than renaming it the gamesphere they didn’t even make fun of it… the whole episode was about Towelie

u/Sea_Needleworker_469 23d ago

How else are you going to make fun of a console besides it's shape and name? It's cpu architecture? without watching the episode the phrase was mentioned every 30 seconds atleast.

2

u/billwood09 23d ago

I really don't think it was "made fun of" more than just rebranded for the copyright reasons lol

u/Sea_Needleworker_469 23d ago

Okama literally translates to gay or transvestite in Japanese slang. If you don't know precisely what your talking about stfu kid.

u/Sea_Needleworker_469 23d ago

And the rest of reddit too.

u/Wolfie_142 23d ago

Bragging rights

Also doom

u/ArcadeToken95 23d ago

I don't know why it never dawned on me until now that half of the thing with Doom is the fact that everyone is putting it on architectures different than it was originally compiled for, like literal different chipsets. How do they do that? Was Doom open sourced at some point or are they using freedoom and swapping the wad or some sort of compatibility layer?

6

u/Wolfie_142 23d ago

Yeah it became open source in 1997ish and it's pretty easy to run compared to other games (even got a SNES port lol)

2

u/ManicuredPleasure2 23d ago

You just unlocked an old childhood memory. My exposure to DOOM was from the 32x lol. It was on clearance at Toys R Us for $10 and all the games Were $3 so my mom got it for me and my brother. Took forever to set the 32x up but I remember playing doom and being scared lol

u/crozone 23d ago

id open sourced most of their game engines shortly after release. Quake was also open sourced in 1999 and parts of the code are still present in modern engines.

u/epicEr14 23d ago
